The impeached speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has been urged by Fouad Oki, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State, to return to the house and fulfil his fundamental duties to his constituents.

Despite being impeached, Obasa maintains his position as speaker of the Lagos Assembly, according to a ZINGTIE article last Monday.

Obasa asserted that a phoney mace was used to impeach him.

The Lagos State House of Assembly’s Speaker position was formally taken on Monday by Mojisola Meranda, who was elected Speaker of the Assembly after Obasa was impeached.

Fouad told the Agege member to forget about running for speakership again during his Monday appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

He stated that, like other lawmakers, the lawmaker either resigns or concentrates on his responsibilities in the House.

“Matters of the Lagos Assembly are past events… what has played out in Lagos is very clear: there is party organisation and there’s party with convention. You know conventions are unwritten rules or unwritten laws,” he said.

“Now we have different layers of control, of check and ballances in Lagos politics. What has played out is a clear testament of what politics should be…let us learn a few lessons from what has happened.

“For those that are yet to know that in politics there is hierarchy, control, checks and balances the events of last week has shown that…There’s no shame in it.

“Nothing he could do other than go back to the house and continue his job as a legislator. Another side to that is that he should throw in the hat and say ‘I’ve had enough, let someone else take over from me.

“Other than that he should just continue his basic responsibility of continuing to participate in making good laws for the good people of Lagos. He’ll take it like every other human being. It comes and goes. It is gone.”
